IGNITE at FUMC 1660 Arbor Way, Turlock

All new worship experience first Thursday of the month from 6:30 PM- 7:15 PM.

Are you looking for community and a place to grow in faith? You won’t want to miss Ignite!

         "We're a praise band leading the new alternative worship service," said Victoria Lake, vocalist for The Ignite Worship Band.   Victoria, her electric guitarist brother Samuel, and their multi-talented father T.J. Lake, spoke about Ignite! 

            "It will be about getting people to come together, by making them feel they're part of the community . . . the church community," said Samuel. "We hope to bring people who wouldn't normally come to a church service," Victoria explained. The intention is for a more flexible, relaxed and open experience.

            “There will be no traditional message," said T.J. "It will be more testimonial-based and interactive. We don't know what will happen." There will be a question posed at the beginning of each service, but the nature of the services will evolve based on what the people in the room are wanting from the service. A content committee will decide on a theme each month. For December, the theme is Hope.

            T.J., who has been instrumental in the collective development of the Ignite Worship Service, sees the new service as "giving a person an opportunity in the middle of the week to let the world go for a moment and just be a person in Christ."

            The overarching goal is to provide a place for people who have gone away from faith, for those who have never had faith, and for those who are looking for a new way to praise. “When you walk through the door, you are not alone.”
